The Political Environment gives an outline of the numerous tax breaks promised by Wisconsin’s Governor Scott Walker for our needy billionaires asking: Truckloads For The Wealthy, But From Where?

The total for the eight quantifiable tax plans Walker has offered total $3.76 billion over the biennium.

The total biennial tab for Walker’s promises, made throughout the campaign, include:

• $1.032 billion – Transfer $1.032 billion from the general fund to the transportation fund, creating a $1.032 deficit in the general fund
